I would feel a lot better about it if we treated cattle with existential respect while they gather for our consumption.
But capitalism does not do that to humans so hoping for mad cow respect in the US is about largely remembering about the fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle.
Just go buy your meat directly from a farmer that only raises a few each year and that lets the cows roam free, it's not impossible to buy meat that's much more ethical, you just have to accept the price that comes with it.
It tastes good and I don't eat it everyday and I try to eat quality meat as much as possible, give me a break.
The device you typed this on surely do not contain any precious metal obtained through human abuse.
One form of harm does not excuse the other. We all have to make some effort on multiple fronts if we want the future to be brighter. Besides, it's easier to survive as a vegetarian than without technology in modern society.
Well hopefully the democratic process can help us find a decent standard. No violence or authoritarianism required.
Man, I eat meat too but you're so wrong here...
Just because you're surrounded by bad cooks doesn't mean vegan/vegetarian food is bad... unless you also tell me that the only part of your meals that you enjoy is the meat and you hate all your side orders? ๐ค
Man... you reply like that and you say that I respond like an asshole? ๐
Cooking with meat is horrible, and I know because I am surrounded by them.
Thing is I could make efforts on all fronts except for eating meat every now and then and you guys would still be mad even if I made more effort then you everywhere else.
irrelevant
Meat eating is tightly connected to manliness. Also ideas of freedom. People think doing away with meat would mean more austerity and an attack on their individuality. You could sit someone down, join the dots for them linking meat to environmental catastrophe that affects them and they will still laugh it off with a vapid joke like in the meme.
Man, my girlfriend wants to eat meat more often than I do, what does that mean? ๐ค
*in your culture
That's an interesting proposition. You have a source for that, or a theory of your own? Please share.

The idea isn't new or obscure but there is an academic source. Have you never heard of alt-right idiots complaining about soy boys? You know they are referring to men who have been emasculated because of aversion to meat and consumption of estrogen-like soy products?
I've heard about that, but I feel a majority of meat eaters are quite tolerant with veganism and don't see it a a threat to their masculinity. And I think I can say this threat isn't even relevant in the case of women meat eaters. About the study you linked: it doesn't really try to take an objective standpoint on the matter since its entire premise is the necessity to convince meat eaters to change their eating habits. Also is says itself (end of section 5) that the link between eating meat and masculinity wasn't specifically targeted by the study. The authors do mention though that the link between masculinity and meat eating can be attributed to perceptions created by industry marketing. But in this article (as well as in my own personal experience) this link seems at best anecdotal.
Yeah but what about my cat? What about animals in the wild? How can we stop them from eating meat?
But what about you?
How is it relevant to the question I'm asking?
How are your cat and animals in the wild relevant to your choices for yourself?
Taste
it's ethical because they name them before slitting their throats ๐ฅฐ
No, but it is better since the animals get some quality life before we slit their throats.
I hope you eat them afterward. That would be so wasteful if you didn't.
That's not what I said, but whatever ๐คท
you can just stop eating meat lol
And what does this existential respect look like?
Having a bit more joy in life and living a day longer in a cage which is one squaremeter larger until they get slaughtered?
Still no freedom and an unnaturally early end of life.
